ADB is (effectively) our standards body for SFB. I could go against the 
grain and not be "standards compliant" with my data. In some cases, 
where the rules are indeterminate or that it creates an unworkable 
situation for the chosen campaign format, I have done exactly that. Such 
as "creating" an Andromedan that operates under the tug-pod rules.

However, that creates problems if the data strays too far from what is 
published. For one, people will look at their paper copies, expecting 
one thing and get something else. That makes it hard to plan your 
campaign strategy over the course of several turns. Another reason it 
creates problems is that it creates a different balance than what ADB 
has engineered into SFB (for good or for ill. Some people don't think 
ADB should have done fighters at all.)
